I was wondering if anyone had a medical exam or even a pelvic exam after a job application or interview. that would be quite unexpected. Especilally in an outfit for a job interview, it would be more embarressing.

I had a pelvic the other day because I was having abdominal pain. This was only my second one ever, so I was really nervous. The speculum kind of hurt because I am a virgin and rather tight. Then she did the internal, which was luckily really short. Then I hear "I'm going to do a rectal." Before I even had time to argue her finger was there. It was really quick though, so that's good. She was checking to see if I had any blood there. Wasn't terrible but definitely unexpected!

unfortunately ive never had an unexpected exam. i would love to be laying on the table and suddenly feel the doctor slip a finger into my rectum.

Definitely a faux pas on the part of the doc, but heavens, nothing to sue over! However, expected and desired protocol in a play exam (by this patient at least)

My girlfriend was once given a rectal exam with a scope without being told beforehand what was going to happen! Needless to say she was very angry with the doctor after that.

I hope the Dr changed gloves at least!!!

a doctor don't really need to change gloves to go from bimanual/vaginal to rectovaginal. it's common and routine to do it but you don't risk to contaminate the rectum with vaginal flora bacteria.the opposite is the risk: I have passed from vaginal ( 2 fingers) to rectovaginal -leaving the indicator in the vagina and inserting te medium finger ih the rectum ( i tell the patient what I am about to do and ask her to bear down).

ive never had both at once . come to think of it only in a pplay exam i have had both or if my partner plays down there he pushes up both holes at once . i hate it .

I hope the Dr changed gloves at least!!!

i had the same pelvic examination that switch over with out a warning before.

My most recent recto-vag was because the doctor was looking for signs of endometrial nodules. He did tell me he was going to do it, but I just didn't go to the exam expecting I was going to get one. It was quite a bit uncomfortable and the doctor had some pretty large fingers. it was definitely the deepest I've had a finger in my rectum before, and the longest amount of time.

i now know what to expect but it was a big surprise the first few times! at the time i was about 12 mabe younger i think i was like 10 or so the first time i got a rectal exam and the theory was at the time that it was better not to scare me by telling me what was coming! all i can say is OWWWWWW1 -Linda

I had an ex girlfriend several years ago tell me about her visit to her doctor. She went to her doctor because she had strained an abdominal muscle a few weeks prior and it was still bothering her. She had her appointment first thing in the morning before work. The nurse took her back into an exam room and took her vitals. She was dressed for work so she was wearing a black skirt that was snug and a few inches above her knees, a fitted white satin button front blouse, and a fitted black blazer. She wore high heels, and since it was summer she wore no stockings or pantyhose like she would in the cooler weather. She had very nicely toned and tanned legs. Anyway she had to remove the blazer for the vitals, and the nurse told her the doctor will be back shortly. The doctor showed up and asked her about the ab strain. She told him it hurt on her lower right side and that she probably did it playing a pretty aggressive game of beach volleyball. So he had her remove her blouse and unzip her skirt and lay back on the exam table. He pressed down on the spot she pointed out. She winced in pain and the doctor asked her if she was sure it was a muscle strain. She said she believed so since it started to hurt shortly after the game, and she'd really feel it when she'd sit up from laying down. He said that since the sore spot is right above where her right ovary is, he wants to do a quick internal exam to rule out an ovarian cyst or other gynecological problem. She was reluctant but finally agreed. The doctor paged the nurse, who came back in the exam room. He then told my girlfriend to put her blouse back on and leave the bottom couple buttons undone, and to remove her panties. As she did the doctor pulled out the stirrups, had her pull her unzipped skirt up to her waist and kick off her heels. Then he told her to sit on the very edge of the table and lie back and put her feet in the stirrups. He put on a latex glove and lubed up his fingers. He told her to relax and let her knees fall open as wide as she can. He then slid his fingers into her vagina and pressed down on her lower abdomen with his ungloved hand. As he felt her right ovary she told him it hurt. He assured her that her ovary felt normal and that there were no irregularities. He then wiggled her cervix and asked if that hurt. She said no. He removed his fingers from her and suggested that she also have a recto vaginal exam so he could recheck her ovary and also check the uterosacral ligaments to rule that out as a source of her pain. She said that she'd rather not but reluctantly agreed. So he put on a fresh glove and lubed his fingers again, told her to relax and bear down as his middle finger entered her rectum and index finger entered her vagina. She told me that was the worst part of the exam. She continued to tell me that the doctor probed her thoroughly and rechecked her ovary and he told her that everything feels normal. He removed his fingers and told her that she can slide back and sit up. The nurse helped her up and the doctor said for her to get dressed, the nurse handed her some moist towelettes, and the doctor said he'd be back shortly to discuss his findings. They left and she cleaned up, put her panties on and pulled her skirt down and zipped it up, stepped into her heels, finished buttoning her blouse and put her blazer back on. The doctor came in a few minutes later and told her that he found no gynecological reason for the pain and that it most likely was a muscle strain and to rest for a week or so and it should go away. If the pain persisted he said to come back and he'd run some further tests like maybe an ultrasound. When she got home that evening she said she was caught totally off guard being examined like that, and that she was glad she shaved everything including her girly bits that morning in the shower. Fortunately about a week later her pain was just about gone so she didn't need to go back for more tests. Sorry about the length of this thread, but I like detail and I'm sure some of you like details about exams too. I had to ask her a lot of questions to get all these details of her exam and I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

Found on another forum, written by a husband

I used to think that the

answer to the question posed in the subject of this thread was no, until

a few years back. At that time my wife and i had just moved house to a

largish commuter village a few miles out of the city where we both work

and used to live. On moving we had to register with the local GP. The

practice was a typical single doctor practice covering the village we

lived in, a couple of other smaller local villages and the surrounding

outlying rural areas.

A few weeks after moving in my wife went to the

surgery to enquire about registering, the receptionist was very

helpful, took our details and issued my wife with a selection of forms

for each of us to fill out about our personal details, medical history

etc. she also handed my wife two specimen bottles and asked that we fill

them and bring them in with us when we attended our "new patient

check". My wife asked what that was and she explained that it was a

basic check-up to get an idea of our general health on joining the

practice and a chance to meet our new doctor. We were to phone in for an

appointment once we had completed the forms.So we both completed our

forms and called to arrange an appointment. I was busy with work and i

was going away with work to a conference in a week or so, so my wife

made hers for the following week and mine for two weeks later when i got

back.

On the day of my wife's appointment i came in from work and

while sitting at dinner i asked how her appointment with the doctor had

gone, she said it went ok and that he seemed nice . I asked what the

"new patient check" had involved and she explained that it was a full

head to toe examination. As she explained what had been involved it was

clear that as well as all the more routine and mundane things he'd had

her undressed to the waist to liten to her chest and back and examine

her breasts. She'd also had to loosen her trousers to allow him to

examine her tummy.

She then mentioned that he'd been unable to find a

redcord of her last smear test in her notes, she told him that she'd

definitely had it done (i also knew that was the case as she disliked

them but always went for her own good), he insisted that no results were

there and if they weren't in her notes they wouldn't have them on file

at the main centre that collates the results. He added that wthout a

current smear test he couldn't really register her fully and it would be

easier for the registration process if she could have it done that day.

So she somewhat grudgingly agreed as she knew she'd had it done.

So

he had her undress from the waist down and get on the couch, he then did

not only the smear, but told her "Why don't we just do a quick internal

while you're up here and ready, just to make sure everything inside is

in order". My wife being like me and most other people just agreed as

he's the doctor, he knows best. He finished and let her get dressed and

then after a quick chat she was done.

Obviously i was now thinking,

bloody hell, i'm going to get the works when i go. So after i got back

from the conference the day came and i went along to see our new doctor,

only for me i was in and out in ten minutes. He weighed me, measured

me, calculated my BMI, took my blood pressure, tested the urine sample

i'd taken along had me undo the top three buttons of my shirt and

listened to my chest from there and that was it.

So of course, when i

got home and told the missus, she couldn't believe that i'd got off

with just that when she had got a much more thorough going over. Over

the next few weeks things came to light which made things a bit clearer.

As we got to know the neighbours etc things would be chatted about, but

a common theme asked of my wife by the other women of the village was

had she Dr O'D****** yet or had she registered at the surgery yet,

usually followed by a knowing look if the answer was yes. After chatting

with a couple of the female neighbours she'd found out that Dr

O'D****** was well known for being more thorough with his female

patients than his male, but that no one ever complained as he was

generally very nice and a very good, skilled and knowledgable doctor.

Hi ladies, have any of you had an unexpected pelvic exam or rectal exam? Whether you thought you were just going for a quick check up or going to the doctor for some other reason but ended up in the stirrups or bent over an exam table instead.

Funny now that I think of it, but during childbirth I suddenly felt a finger in my anus, 'f@"k! What was that!' I shouted..

Just feeling for the baby the midwife replied....

"well you need to go back to school honey, cos it ain't up there" I replied!!!

Sounds funny now, but boy was I cross!! ;)))

I had a rectal exam with no warning once. Scared me so much that although I had never been afraid of one, the next time they did one I had to hold the nurses hand.

I thought he was going to examine my abdomen, he undid the top of my jeans himself and had me lower my pants a bit in this cramped room. Suddenly he pulled down my underwear and pushed his finger in.

I stopped seeing that physician.

:-[ Speak of poor bed side manners, Please!

My first one (with my exam two years ago when I switched physicians), was kind of the opposite of what you described. When she changed the gloves, I had an idea of what she was going to do (have heard about this in the past).

She then explained what she was going to do, told me to bear down, and then gently inserted her finger. Even though it was a bit uncomfortable, it was not too bad (atleast what I have heard in the past).

I had about 2 seconds warning, "you will just feel me insert a finger into your anus now." Then straight in, no chance to say anything.

Telling the patient what you are going to do will also reduce the amount of anxiety. It also lets the patient be mentally prepared for what you are going to do to them.

As much as I would love that in a play examination, that's really unprofessional. A physician should always explain what they're going to do - it keeps the patient calm, gives them a sense of control and ensure that discomfort is minimalised. Your poor girlfriend!

I've done this during play, but with an actual exam its of no benefit to make a patient jump. It's difficult enough to get a finger in once you have a patient ready much less not warning of whats about to occur

Sarah

with a play exam, not telling is part of the surprise and thrill, but if she was at a regular appointment, she definitely should have been informed. no doubt about it.

There are some real docs with some pretty terrible bedside manners.

When I do a gyn exam it always includes a recto-vaginal exam after manual vaginal exam, then the rve is followed by a distinct digital rectal exam.

Plus, when playing I always keep my patients informed UNLESS we mutually agree on something different as part of our scene.

i saw a eductional gyno videowith a doctor doing something like this. But he did the rectal examination imediatly after the rectovaginal, keeping his finger in the pacient rectumand not telling her what he will do.

That's what they call the shocker! ;D

my first gyn exam was when i was 18, i went to Planned Parenthood. i remember it was a woman doctor, and after she examined my vagina she told e "push down like you're going to the bathroom." i did, and i did not know what to expect. she pushed her finger into my ass. she apologized afterward. i guess she thought if she told me what to expect i would have clenched. i don't think i could have resisted it, because as you know, with legs in the stirrups there's no resisting any invasion!

I had a friend that went through this once. She was really ticked off because she wasn't expecting it to happen. This was back in my college days.

ouch! must have been a very insensitive and uncaring doctor to do that. fortunately i've always been told prior by the doctor that a recto-vaginal exam was going to happen.

Evidently I have lucked out, or I have good physicians. My doctor always prepares me for what he is going to do, takes his time, and talks to me as he does the procedure, letting me know he is going to do something before he does it.
